Do GU sun visors fit in a GQ?
I noticed that GU sun visors are straight on the end near the rear vision mirror, whereas GQ ones are shaped with a bit sticking out almost to the mirror mounting.
Having them straight on the end would be a lot better for mounting a roof console into a GQ.
Will GU visors just bolt straight in to a GQ?
Also does anyone have a decent photo of a GU visor when it's folded down?
I want to see if the end near the door is made the same as the GQ ones.
Thanks.

The GQ visors work fine in my roof console.
I'll take some pics & give you a look at what I did.

Thanks guys, I should've asked earlier. I saw a pair of these on ebay http://ebayimg.com.JPG listed as GQ visors. Hope they fit because I bought them half an hour ago. http://.ebay.com.auItem=170595352847
I'm still keen to see photos of what you guys have in your patrols though.

I found some photos which show why I think GU style sun visors would be better for a roof console in a GQ.
This one recently sold on eBay.
www.ebay.com.au/ViewItem=170596193738&
Because of the shape of the GQ visors, this console has to have that big triangular section at the front to let it attach to the mirror mount.
This side view shows where I think it could be improved by using different visors.
Instead of the bit sticking forward to attach it, the body of the console could go right up to the windscreen rubber. I think that would be tidier and give a bit more room.
Because I like the look of VZ Commodore light/sunglasses holders, the extra room at the front could be very handy.
